Music Matters: Introducting C O M M A N D


C O M M A N D - Watermouth, Unique Bias Records
Download Now - "I Wonder"

I usually post this sort of thing on my Tumblr, My Family Album, because it pertains to the work of one my talented family members, in this case, my ultra cool younger brother, Joesph Mosby. But not every Entertainment Matters' reader has been introduced to that site and that's no reason to deprive you of this heart-breaking work of staggering genius.

You may remember Joesph as Jacobi Red or as a founding member of the Electives. Through these personae Joesph has transformed from a precocious teenager to a self-assured young man who's tasted the bitter pill of heartbreak and the tedious grid of higher education. In his new skin, C O M M A N D, he displays -- just that-- on every level in his debut album, Watermouth. From the bold scintillating album art to the genre-bending undulations of each track, one can detect a mastery that is shocking given the fact that he's only 22. In "I Wonder," the orchestration is a hyppnotic mix of live instruments and electonica elements that creates a sort of dreamscape that maps perfectly to lyrical exploration a relationship that can't survive a geographical separation. C O M M A N D infuses elements of rap, dream pop, electronica, classic R & B in songs of love, loss and remembrance that will leave you salivating for more.
